The OTA_Ping messages are used to test the connectivity with the Hotel-Spider system:
Every time the hotel's inventory or any of its stay restrictions (Booking rules) has been changed inside the third party software, the changes (and only the changes) should be transfered to Hotel-Spider. As this is a "notif" message, it implies that the third party software client pushes the information to the Hotel-Spider servers.
